I think Tim Pool's right, the civil war is already on. All of this is just the tactics.
Full on fighting in the streets civil wars are a young man's game, and the population is quickly aging. There is no mass of young men ready to die for their cause. Gen z can't even tell a girl that they like them without getting anxiety attacks.
Whatifalthist had a video on this recently, and pointing out that wokeness is a religion, and that we are coming to the end of a secular cycle that's going to result in a mass population collapse, we're not in the sort of situation where you end up with that kind of war. You end up in this sort of situation with little skirmishes, in this case legal ones, or situations like 150 days of rioting in the streets and burning apartment buildings and restaurants to the ground.
The new right is like the protestants, when the Catholics had all the institutional power (and the woke are Catholics). In my view, I would say expect the worst scenario. Another 4 years of Biden, Trump goes to jail, and if they're Republicans end up in power at any point in the next 16 years, expect a neutered uniparty candidate.
Now you can take this as a black pill, but I think that part of the problems with the new right is that they are a very new movement, and acting on a limited historical context. This situation didn't come about in 4 years, it isn't going to get reversed in 4 years. And no one man is going to be able to do a damn thing about it. The key has to be playing the long game, because from where I'm standing right now, the long-term victory is inevitable, just as in the 1900s the long-term victory of the left was inevitable. Most of the 1900s was a secular cycle that meant an unprecedented Golden age so there was plenty for everyone, and there was no moral or practical reason to exclude anyone. What's coming is an unprecedented dark age. That's not a good thing. It's going to be very hard and it's going to be terrible. Everyone should wish that such a thing wasn't going to come. But it is going to come, and the current rise of a new right is in direct response to this truth, which is why it's capturing a lot of young men who don't have the privilege of playing their violin as Rome burns.
Ultimately it was The barbarians who took over Europe in after the fall of the western Roman empire. They weren't living in the capital in the lap of luxury, they were dealing with the reality of the world around them. They couldn't rely on taxes from distant lands to supply them, they needed to be able to grow their own food, and manage their own people, and without the help of the people in the Capitol build something of their own.
